For your safety, this tool is equipped

tended starting. NEVER use the tool if it runs when
you simply pull the switch trigger without pressing

vice center for proper repairs BEFORE further usage.
WARNING:

pose and function of switch lever.
WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge on the tool, always check to see that the switch
trigger and switch lever actuate properly and return
to the "OFF" position when released. Operating a tool
with a switch that does not actuate properly can lead to
loss of control and serious personal injury.

switch when carrying. The tool may start uninten-
tionally and cause injury.
To start the tool, hold the front handle while pressing the
